Relaxing and Spacious

Left on 07/26/2014 for a stay in July 2014 | Jami F

First of all the title says it all, it is relaxing and spacious. I was a little nervous about not having a/c but thankfully there were ceiling fans in the living room and bedroom, that made a world of a difference. The bathroom is huge with plenty of room too- separate shower and tub. The bed was very comfortable and it made sleeping in that much easier. I loved having access to the golf cart, I think that is what really made our vacation extra fun. (Only a few steps to get to the golf cart from the front door.) Excellent views from the balcony, bedroom and living room. The kitchen cookware needs to seriously be replaced. After inspecting it I just decided to eat out instead. (There is also a grill, I would have liked to have used it but the previous renter didn't bother to clean it :/ ) Overall I would definitely stay here again as it was comfortable, I felt safe the entire time, and I will pack a few of my own pans and utensils for cooking if they haven't been replaced.

Superb

This property was immaculate with a beautiful balcony and view. Perfect for BBQ, well-equipped for cooking. Next to the clubhouse with work out area, pool and hot tub. Easy access to Avalon with golf cart.

Gorgeous Views

Left on 08/07/2013 for a stay in July 2013 | A FlipKey verified reviewer

This unit has unprecedented views from the outdoor patio. However, it
needs four things - teaspoons (there was not one in the unit), a small
dining table and chairs (we had to sit on wobbly bar stools at the kitchen
counter; I couldn't even get up on one), a cheese grater, and grab bars
in the shower for safety. The unit is beautifully furnished. Had lots of Dvd's to watch. It was nice to have two Tv's. The ceiling fans provided nice cooling.

Loved it, Loved it, Loved it!!!

The service was great, the people at the rental agency were very helpful with informing us about the shuttle and the different boat times. The condo we rented was great, plenty of room and what an awesome view of the ocean. We had a bagel and coffee out on our deck every am and in the evening we sat out also. We have Nooo complaints. Can't wait to come back!

We can't wait to come back!

The service we received was great--we called about a leak in the shower when we got to the unit and were told someone would come and take care of it and the best thing was we didn't have to be there. Sure enough, we went out and when we came back, the problem had been addressed.
The home was great! It was perfect for someone who is unable to do a lot of stairs, which is something we wanted. It was steps away from many of the amenities: pool, jacuzzi, exercise room. Our favorite thing was the view and the fact that we had two decks--one with a barbecue which was important to us--we wanted to save some money by not eating out for every meal so that we would be able to relax and enjoy the ocean view (which was phenomenal!). We also loved having the use of the golf cart--which really is a necessity due to the location of Hamilton Cove. The only thing we didn't like was the fact that we arrived much earlier than check-in, and didn't quite know what to do. As it turns out, our unit was ready early, however, we're still not sure what we would do with our luggage next time should we arrive early and our room isn't ready. We would be fine hanging out in town--but not if we have to carry our luggage with us. We'll have to get further clarification on that when we plan our next trip to Catalina--which we loved!

What a view!

We absolutely loved this condo. We have stayed in many condos in Hamilton Cove and this one is our favorite. Great location. Fantastic views from every room but the bathroom. Very comfortable and private!

Perfect place to stay! Had such a relaxing time!

I rented this unit for my 43rd Birthday with my 21 year old daughter for 5 nights. We felt right at home and especially enjoyed the amazing views! This unit is very convenient and beautiful inside. We stocked the fridge and enjoyed homemade breakfast on the patio and made friends with a seagull which we named Sammy. He would visit every morning for a treat of mango. The patio off the kitchen has a great view as well and a great BBQ too. We also enjoyed the fun choices of Dvd's they had. All my favorites as well as music Cd's. Great taste to the owners! The bed was comfy and listening to the ocean at night was so relaxing. I can't wait to stay here again. Loved my time!

When we walked in the front door, we said 'Wow'!

Left on 08/08/2012 for a stay in July 2012 | A FlipKey verified reviewer

We arrived in the morning and we had our keys and information in a few minutes. We were extremely pleased with our villa. The unit was not quite ready so we left our luggage with the cleaning staff and we jumped in our golf cart drove around the property and checked out the beach, tennis court and golf course. We went to town for groceries and met some deer on the way. We had our coffee each morning while watching dolphins and birds from our front terrace. During the day we spent time at the pool and in the evening we enjoyed the sun on our side balcony while we bar-b-qued fresh fish from armstrongs. The golf cart allowed us to explore the this part of the island. We'll be back!

Perfect Get away

Left on 09/22/2011 for a stay in September 2011 | C. Ayers & S. Lawler

Spectacular view! Beach decor, well maintained gated property. French doors that access patio from bedroom & living room with separate dining patio where BBQ was located. Golf cart included. No internet access or instructions to use DVD/stereo playerwere the only negative.

Perfect In Every Way

Left on 09/01/2011 for a stay in August 2011 | ekg_ehg

A clean, well-equipped unit with a view that can't be beat. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Civr was extremely helpful at both check-in and check-out. We were able to get into our unit almost immediately after arriving on the 9am ferry from Marina Del Ray and were lucky enough to get a late checkout.

A Little Paradise

Left on 08/25/2011 for a stay in August 2011 | Jeanette

I did a lot of researching prior to going to Catalina for our 3 Year anniversary and I couldn't have been more pleased with our location and Unit 8-97! First off there are only a few steps to the unit, then the view couldn't have been better! It felt so spacious with the vaulted ceilings and having the extra windows and patio by being a corner unit. We absolutely loved sitting on the patio's watching all the water action right in front of us. The unit was so comfortable with all the comforts of home! The golf cart was not only a plus but we also had a lot of fun exploring the island in it. We enjoyed alot of restaurants (Loved Steve's Steakhouse) but also made a few meals in the unit and everything that we needed was there. We are already planning our next "Get away" trip and wouldn't think of staying anywhere else!! :)

mini golf rules!

Left on 04/23/2010 for a stay in March 2010 | heatwavemjp

The service I receive from C.V.R. has been fabulous every time. This was the 5th trip I've booked through them and will not ever use anyone else.
Unit 8-97 @ Hamilton Cove was one the best units I've rented yet. Excellent views, great layout, and the minimum number of steps. (5)
The best part of renting any Hamilton Cove unit is the fact that they all come with golf carts. Some would say the drive over Mt. Ada to fill the gas tank is a hassle, but I say, "use to your advantage".
Eat @ the Buffalo Nickle while your out there and enjoy the views forth and back.

We had the most amazing time on the island! We came to Catalina for our 20th wedding anniversary. We really relaxed and did't worry about work, kids, or anything! The villa was comfortable and cozy! The barbaque was out of propane, so we called the after hours phone number listed on the tank, and someone came within 15 minutes to replace the tank! The golf cart was awesome and fun! The pool and jacuzzi were just a few steps away, and hardly anyone was ever there! We had a wonderful seafood and steak dinner at Steve's Steak House, and wonderful fish and chips at Antonios, plus too many others to list! There were really strong winds one night, and some patio flower pots blew over, we called and someone came right out to pick them up! The catalina rental staff helped everything go smoothly, with the pick up of the keys to the drop off at the end. We didn't want to leave thats for sure, but we are now planning to make this a yearly ritual, because we deserve it!! Sincerely, Doug and Shirley Arnett.

Great location with golf cart.

We arrived on the Island by helicopter earlier than normal check-in, but unit was clean and available early. Taxi returned our keys for us on check-out which is very common they say and very helpful. The unit was nicely decorated, in great location by pool and minimal stairs. Nice ocean view and had a golf cart included. I would stay in this unit again if it was available.

ROMANTIC GETAWAY/FABULOUS VIEW

Left on 08/12/2009 for a stay in August 2009 | WANTTOTRAVEL

THIS UNIT HAS VERY FEW STEPS & IS VERY CLOSE TO THE POOL/SPA. THE VIEW FROM EVERY ROOM IS FANTASTIC. WE LOVED SPENDING TIME ON THE BALCONY. THE BED IS COMFORTABLE & WE LOVED HEARING THE OCEAN WAVES AS WE SLEPT. HAVING A GOLF CART TO DRIVE INTO TOWN WAS A WONDERFUL BONUS. OUR ONLY COMPLAINT IS THERE WERE NO SERVING BOWLS & THE POTS/PANS/SKILLETS SHOULD BE REPLACED. BRING LARGE ZIP-LOCK BAGS TO TOSS YOUR SALADS IN...AND TO SERVE YOUR SALAD IN. THE DISHWASHER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. IT DOESN'T DO A VERY GOOD JOB. OTHERWISE, THE UNIT EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS & WE WOULD LOVE TO COME BACK.

very romantic

Left on 02/25/2009 for a stay in February 2009 | A FlipKey verified reviewer

Hamilton cove is very romantic. We have vacationed here many times,
however this was the first time in this unit. Being further from town
makes it wonderfully quiet. You can here the ocean crashing on the
rocks. The deck is a terrific place to have morning coffee. This unit has
ocean views from every room. I especially liked being able to see the
sunrise from the bed. Exploring the Island is more easily done with the
golf cart that comes with the condo.
The only problem we encountered in renting this unit, and only
because it rained, was the lack of a cover for the golf cart.
We had a great time as usual.

Very nice home

Lovely one bedroom. The view was great and there was just 2 of us so everything was perfect. We would come back. We were there over Mother's Day and it was very nice and quiet. Thank You.

Loved the property but very disappointed in your administration. I was informed (and had it in writing) that we could stay for 2 nights although it had a 3 night minimum. Later found out owner would not agree to that and was charged all nights. Your team was going to give me a complimentary night's stay but never followed up with (even though I contacted them twice).

We love Hamilton Cove and I love the pool. It would be great if there were specific times of the day or night for adults only. We love having the golf cart during our stay. We always talk about how wonderful this place is. It is like being on the French Rivera.

wonderful few days

Left on 12/18/2008 for a stay in July 2006 | norm

we found the condo very clean and spacious. it had everything you could need. Lots of balcony space, great kitchen. The golf cart was lots of fun. Nice pool area. We will certainly return when we have some time.

Romantic escape

Left on 12/18/2008 for a stay in April 2008 | Debby and Ernie

This home was the perfect spot to relax and re-connect with my
husband. Sometimes you need a place for just the two of you, and this
was wonderful. There are two balconies, one in front and one on the
side with table and bar-b-que. We enjoyed the sun all day long. We
had a view of the ocean from almost every spot in the house. With the
fireplace, and comfy furniture, we did not want to go out at night.
Being next to the health club, spa, and pool was terrific. We made
great use of the facilities. The golf cart was so much fun to drive
around in. I can't wait to come back.
